Examining Nature of Science and Standards in a
Post-COVID World
Using COVID data and multimedia sources, teachers can
elevate students’ understandings of science as a human endeavor, and explore
diverse contributions and other nature of science themes.
Takeaways: Attendees will: 1. acquire multiple classroom resources for COVID data, updates, and multimedia; 2. examine connections among pandemic examples and grade level nature of science (NOS) themes in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS); and 3. explore opportunities to enhance science lessons with key NGSS NOS themes such as science as a human endeavor, diverse contributions and cultures, using a variety of methods, and knowledge open to revision in light of new evidence.
Speakers
Presenter Materials for this Session:
PowerPoint Slideshow - NOS, NGSS, COVIDSlideshow featured with links to articles, websites, NGSS, and additional resources for examining Nature of Science (NOS) themes and standards in context of COVID-19 news and resources.
Exploring Ways to Integrate Science and Literacy
Learning
Share ways your students learn to speak clearly, read
thoughtfully, write coherently, and create and/or critique media while learning
science. Also consider examples in https://open.oregonstate.education/physicsforteachers.
Takeaways: 1. Attendees will learn about ways to integrate science and literacy learning; 2. From these examples, attendees will learn about different perspectives on what it means to integrate science and literacy learning; and 3. Attendees also will learn about ways to integrate science and literacy lessons while enacting NGSS recommendations such as engaging students in the science and engineering practices of asking questions and defining problems, constructing explanations and designing solutions, engaging in argument from evidence, and obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information within the context of using relevant cross cutting concepts while exploring phenomena on which to base development of disciplinary core ideas.
